description: >
  Encord is a computer vision data labeling and model evaluation platform that
  provides tools and APIs for managing datasets, annotation tasks, labels, and
  quality workflows at scale. The platform supports multimodal data including
  images, video, audio, DICOM, point clouds, and text. Encord exposes a REST
  API and a Python SDK (encord) for programmatically managing projects,
  datasets, ontologies, storage, and automated labeling workflows. Authentication
  is handled via SSH private key or service account credentials, with separate
  US and UK API endpoints available. Encord is used by AI teams in healthcare,
  autonomous systems, and other industries to accelerate model development by
  streamlining data curation, annotation, and evaluation pipelines.

    description: >
      REST API and Python SDK for programmatically managing annotation projects,
      datasets, ontologies, labels, and workflows within the Encord Annotate
      platform. Supports creating and retrieving projects and datasets,
      importing and exporting labels, managing automated labeling agents,
      integrating cloud storage (AWS, Azure, GCP), and orchestrating
      annotation workflows.

  - name: Encord Active API
    description: >
      API for the Encord Active module, which provides model evaluation, data
      curation, and active learning capabilities. Allows importing model
      predictions, computing quality metrics, running embedding-based similarity
      search, and surfacing the most valuable data for labeling. Supports
      performance metrics including mAP, mAR, F1, True/False Positive and
      Negative counts across classes and IoU thresholds.
